Alto Cabin-1/2 mile from 3 wineries!

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 59 reviews1 week ago

We LOVE Alto Cabin! Gorgeous scenery and very relaxing. The house is ADORABLE with something for everyone! Wrap around porch, game area for the kids, and an idyllic back patio, campfire seating all beautifully landscaped and decorated inside and out! We enjoyed yoga on the deck, a dip in the hot tub and games at the table (with plenty of seating for gamers which was a big reason I picked Alto Cabin). We each had our own rooms AND bathrooms which was another WIN! Saw some wildlife in the forest including deer and maybe even Big Foot?! LOVED IT!!! Thank you to our hosts for sharing this little slice of heaven!

First time back in Southern Illinois since graduating SIUC in 2016. This trip did not disappoint. I wanted to show my fiancée the area I went to school and never stop talking about. We enjoyed hiking, kayaking, wineries, countless other outdoorsy activities.

Centrally Located Historical Gem

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews4 months ago

This home is an absolute GEM! From the time we booked our trip to the time we checked out, Wes and Janet were so thoughtful, kind, responsive, and helpful. From the decor to the amenities, and everything in between (e.g. ice stocked in the freezer, tons of appliances, amazing shower products, notes all around the house with details, toys for children upstairs), they have truly thought of it all. Their house was an absolute pleasure to stay at. It was child-friendly and we all (two families staying together) felt right at home. It truly had everything we could possibly have needed. Wes and Janet are incredible hosts, and this is an amazing place to stay! Highly, highly recommend!

The Farmhouse

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews3 months ago

Jackie was a wonderful host. We didn’t stay at this exact location but we stayed in the 1845 Mansion. I’m writing this review under this place because when we first booked Jackie had to let us know she needed to move us over to the bigger house due to some unforeseen circumstances with this location. The 1845 Mansion looked like a house out of a Hallmark movie. She had the tables beautifully set for our family Christmas party and treats set out for the kids and adults. She didn’t even forget about fur babies, Jackie had toys and treats sitting out for them as well. I highly recommend any of Jackie’s locations for your family gatherings.
